The petitioned relief would permi t the operation of the DJI Inspire 1 and DJI Phantom 3

Professional UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) systems by the Petitioner for compensation or hire

within the National Airspace System ( NAS )

. As described more fully below, grantin g Neu

Heights Media exemption of these require ments would provide a level of safety at least equa l to

existing rules. The portion below, titled “Expl anation of Exemption Requests by Section

, ”

describes these safety measures, as well as the extent of relief sought

, and why.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems :

The Inspire 1 and Phantom 3 Pro systems are vertical takeoff and landing, unmanned

aircraft platforms, with ground control stations (GCS) utilizing electronic t ablet or smart phone.

The UAVs are equipped with four main rotors; driven by Lithium Polymer battery powered

electric motors.

The DJI Inspire 1 has a maximum gross weight of approximately 6 pounds 7.5 ounces,

with dim ensions of 17.25in length x 17.75in width x 11.85in height. The Inspire 1 has a

maximum speed of approximately 49.21mph.

The DJI Phantom 3 Professional’s maximum gross weight is approximately 2 pounds 13

ounces; 19in length x 19.25in w idth x 7.75in height dimensions ; 35.8mph maximum speed.

The DJI flight controller has a number of technological capabilities to demonstrate its

airworthiness. In the event of a GPS signal loss, the UASs (unmanned aircraft systems) will lock

in its positio n and automatically go to ATTI (attitude) mode and remain stable. Loss of

connection to the remote control transmitter ca uses the vehicle to immediately rise or descend to4

a preset, safe altitude and return to its home point (default: initial takeoff locat ion ) and land in a

controlled manner.

Petition :

Neu Heights Media, LLC, pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Aviation Regulation

(14 C.F.R. § 11.61) and the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA), Se c tion 333,

Special Rules for Certain Unmanned Aircraft Systems , hereby petitions t he Administrator to

allow Neu Heights Media, LLC to commercially operate the DJI Inspire 1 and DJI Phantom 3

Professional UASs in the National Airspace System, and for an exemption from the requirements

of 14 C. F.R. § 21 subpart H, 45.23, 61.113(a) & (b), 91.7, 91.9, 91.103, 91.105, 91.119, 91.121,

91.151(b), 91.203, 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(1 ) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b), so long as

such operations are conducted with and under the conditions outlined herein, or as may be

established by the FAA as required by Section 333.

Explanation of Exemption Requests by Section:

14 C.F.R. § 21, Subpart H

Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates , establishes requirements for the issuance

of airworthiness certificates as required by FAR § 91.203(a)(1). The Federal Aviation Act and

Section 333 both authorize the FAA to exempt aircraft from the requirement of an airworthiness

certificate, upon consideration of its size, weight, speed, maneuverability, and pro ximity to areas

such as airports and dense populations. The UASs operated by Neu Heights Media, meet the

requirements for an equivalent level of safety under Part 11 and Section 333 of the Reform Act.

Analysis of the above criteria show that UASs operated witho ut an airworthiness certificate , in

the restricted environment and under the conditions proposed, will be at least as safe or safer,

than a conventional aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft), operating with an airworthiness certificate,

without the rest rictions and conditions proposed. Neu Height’s UASs ope rate with a weight less

than 50 lbs fully loaded, carry neither a pilot or passengers, carry no explosive materials or

flammable liquid fuels, and operate exclusively within a designated area, at least 5 miles from

any airport and more than 3 miles from densely populated areas. This poses no credible threat to

national security.

14 C.F.R. § 45.23

Applicable c odes of the Federal Regulation require aircraft to be marked according to

certain specifications. These regulation provide that each aircraft must display “N” and the

aircraft’s registration number in letters no smaller than 2 inches in height. In addition , aircraft

categorized as “Limited,” “Restricted,” “Light

- Sport,” “Experimental,” or “Provisional” must

display such titles near each entrance to a cabin, cockpit, or pilot station. UASs by definition, are5

unmanned. Even though the UASs will have no airwor thiness certificate, an exemption may be

needed as the UA systems operated by Neu Heights Media do not have cabins, cockpits, or pilot

stations on which to mark certain words or phrases. Furthermore, 2 inch letters are difficult to

place on such small airc raft with surfaces smaller than minimal lettering requirements.

Regardless, Neu Heights Media will mark its UASs in the largest possible lettering by placing

the word “EXPERIMENTAL” on its fuselage as required by 14 C.F.R. § 45.29(f) so that the

pilot, or anyone assisting the pilot as a spotter with the UAS will see the markings.

14 C.F.R. § 61.113(a) & (b)

14 C.F.R. § 61.113(a) & (b) state that no person that holds a private pilot certification

may act as pilot in command (PIC) for compensation or hire. Neu Heights Media asserts that

since the UASs will not carry a pilot or passengers on board, the proposed operations will not

adv ersely affect safety. In support of this position, it cannot be assumed that private pilot or

commercial pilot certifications, with approval to operate a rotorcraft or fixed wing aircraft,

provide superior knowledge or dexterity in the operation an unmanne d aerial system

, than one

without certification , especially at heights less than 400ft above ground level (AGL) . Since there

are no current standards for either private or commercial UAS pilot certificates, knowledge of

airspace regulations and the skills developed from hands

- on operation of UASs will be the most

important factors in meeting the required equivalent level of safety.

14 C.F.R. § 91.7

Section 91.7, entitled Civil Aircraft Airworthiness , states:

(a) “No person may operate a civil aircraft unle ss it is in an airworthy condition.

(b) “The pilot in command of a civil aircraft is responsible for determining whether

that aircraft is in condition for safe flight. The pilot in command shall discontinue the flight when

unairworthy mechanical, electrica l, or structural conditions occur.”

Exemption from the airworthiness certification requirement under 14 C.F.R. § 21 renders

91.7(a ) inapplicable , therefore an exemption is needed. However, Neu Heights Media will follow

all safety and inspect ion procedures outlined by the original equipment m anufacturer (OEM) to

determine airworthiness. The operator will determine airworthiness of the UASs by conducting

preflight and post

- flight inspections. If at any time the operator de ems the UAS unairworthy, the

aircraf t will be grounded immediately

, until all proper repairs have been made. The UAS will

undergo a test flights after such repairs, to ensure functionality, before it is returned to

commercial operations.

14 C.F.R. § 91.9

Civil Aircraft Flight Manual, Markings, and Placard Requirements asserts that no person may

operate an aircraft unless a current, approved flight manual is in the aircraft. The aircraft

operated by Neu Heights Media do not have the ability or space to carry such a flight manual,6

nor is there a pilot on board. It can be assumed that the intent of the regulation is to ensure the

accessibility of manual information to the aircrew while operating the craft. To obtain an

equivalent level of safety and meet the intent of 91.9, the required do cuments will be available to

the PIC, administrator, and any law enforcement offi cials the ground control stati on

.

14 C.F.R. § 91.103

Neu Heights Media, LLC seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 14 C.F.R.

§ 91.103, entitle Preflight Action

, a s FAA approve d rotorcraft flight manuals are not provided for

the aircr aft . The PIC will take separate preflight actions, including checking for weather

conditions, checking flight battery requirements, checking takeoff and landing distances, and all

oth e r actions required by the DJI owner’s m anual. These actions will provided an equivalent

level of safety.

14 C.F.R. § 91.105

Section 91.105, entitled Flight Crewmembers at Stations requires that pilots and

crewmembers of the aircraft utilize safety harness es. Because Neu Heights Media op erates

unmanned aerial vehicles controlled from the ground, the operator has no need to wear a seatbelt

while flying. It is Neu Heights’ belief that because the PIC is safely on the ground, any inflight

turbulence does not a ffect the safety and physical ability of the PIC. In comparison to a manned

aircraft, a ground station controlled aircraft reduces the risk of injury to crew members during

operations and the unlikely event of a crash.

14 C.F.R. § 91.119

Section 91.119 es tablishes safe altitudes of operation for civil aircraft. Section 91.119 (d)

allows helicopters to be operated at less than the minimum prescribed heights

, under certain

conditions, provided that the individual operat ing complies with any route or altitude s

recommended by the FAA. The UASs operated by Neu Heights Media are multi

- rotor craft that

fly similarly to helicopters , with vertical takeoff and landing. Operations will be conducted

below the 400ft AGL threshold, within the perimeter of properties that Neu Heights Media has

pre

- obtained owner consent. The only except to this limit would be if the UASs are utilized to

survey or photograph a structure whose height exceeds 400ft AGL. As other vehicles would not

be conducting operations close to the examine d structure, no flight path interference would

occur.

Exemption will be needed as some operations of the UAS will included the videography

and photography of persons, vessels, vehicles, or structures at less than a 500ft distance. All

flights however, will be pre

- planned to prevent being conducted over individuals and property

that are not participates in

, or have knowledge of the operation. Compared to the flight

operations of larger craft, weighing far more than those flown by Neu Heights, any risks

associated with the UASs operations is far less than those posed by helicopters and other

conventional craf

t flying 400ft AGL, carrying flammable and explosive fuel. In addition, the7

low

- altitude and structure proximity operations of Neu Heights Media delivers a decreased

overlap of flight paths between the UASs and conventional aerial vehicles.

14 C.F.R. § 9 1.121

Neu Heights Media, LLC seeks exemption from the requirements of 14 C.F.R. § 91.121

as the UA V systems do not have typical barometric altimeters onboard. Section 91.121 requires

each person operating an aircraft to maintai n cruising altitude by referencing an altimeter that is

set “to the elevation of the departure airport or an appropriate altimeter setting available before

departure. ” Relief from th is section, entitled Altimeter S ettings , may be required to allow flight

o perations of the DJI Inspire 1 and Phantom 3 Pro UASs, which utilize barometric pressure

sensors, GPS equipment, and radio communications telemetry data links to transmit altitude

information from the UAS to the GCS. Prior to each flight, a zero altitude i nitiation point is

automatically established by the UAS at ground level, rather than the local barometric pressure

or field altitude. This information is available for use by the PIC to actively monitor the craft’s

flight path. Combined with Neu Heights’ o peration of the UASs within visual line of sight, at or

below 400 feet AGL, will ensure a level of safety equivalent to 14 C.F.R. § 91.121.

14 C.F.R. § 91.151(b)

Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions (Section 91.151), part b, submits that no

person may begin a flight in a rotorcraft under VFR (visual flight rules) conditions unless there is

sufficient fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing, assuming normal cruising speed, and

fly after tha t point for at least an additional 20 minutes. Relief from this requirement is requested

by Neu Heights Media, as the petitioned operations of the LLC would become impractical. The

UASs operated by Neu Heights are limited in their flight times per battery. Under normal

conditions, the flight times average approximately 20 minutes. In order to provide an equivalent

level of safety in relation to the additional 20 minute required , the DJI Inspire 1 and DJI Phantom

3 Professional provide audible and visual war nings to the PIC at the GCS when the UASs

experience low battery voltage. The first warning occurs at approximately 33% remaining power,

and an additional at 10%. Based upon the projected power needed to safely return to the initial

takeoff point while lea ving additional power for emergency circumstances, the UAS

automatically activates a Return to Home feature. With this feature, the rotorcraft adjusts its

altitude to a preset, safe altitude, and lands back at the initial point of liftoff. In addition to t hese

fuel precautions, Neu Heights Media will only operate the UASs during daylight hours in visual

meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual flights rules. The nature of the UAS operations

are believed to not adversely affect safety, as the rotorcraft s will always be flown within line of

sight, ensuring that a landing can be made within seconds or minutes. Additionally, the ability to

takeoff or land vertically allows the DJI systems to land on virtually any flat surface.8

14 C.F.R. § 91.203

The Inspi re 1 and Phantom 3 Pro platforms operate at weights less than 50lbs and without

an onboard pilot. As such, there is no ability to place or carry certification and registration

documents

, or to display them on the UAS as Section 91.203 describes in pertinen t part. An

equivalent level of safety will be achieved by keeping these documents at the ground control

station where the UAS pilot or local authorities will have immediat e access to them.

14 C.F.R. § 91.405 (a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), 91.417(a) & (b)

Neu Heights Media requests relief from Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(1) &

(a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b), which establish maintenance requirements that apply to aircraft with

airworthiness certificates. Since the UA V Systems oper ated, the DJI Insp ire 1 and Phantom 3

Professional, meet the requirements for exemption from airworthiness certificates, these

maintenance requirements do not apply. However, Neu Heights Media will use trained

technicians to perform maintenance, alteration s, or preventative maintenance on the UASs using

the methods, techniq ues, and practices prescribed by the UAS manufacturer. Additionally, each

UAS will be inspected before and after each operation. The preflight inspection will account for

any discr e pan c ie s, such as inoperable component s or equipment. Flight will not be initiated if the

inspection reveals any conditions that would adversely affect the safety of operations. Any UAS

that has undergone maintenance or alteration s that affects it s operation or f light characteristics

, will undergo a functional flight test before return ing to service. Neu Heights will follow the

manufacturer's UAS requirements relating to components, maintenance, overhaul, replacement,

inspection and life limits. Record of all main tenance and alterations will be kept. In seeking this

exemption, the Petitioner submits that an equivalent level of safety to the regulatory maintenance

and alteration requ irements of the quoted sections are met.9

Conclusion

To reiterate , the Petitioner, Neu Heights Media, seeks an exemption pursuant to 14

C.F.R . § 11.61 and Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, which will

permit the safe operation of the DJI Inspire 1 and DJI Phantom 3 Profession al UASs for

compensation or hire , wit hout airworthiness certificates , for the purpose of co nduction aerial

photography, videography , and inspections over certain areas of the United States. By granting

this petition, the FAA Administrator will be fulfilling the Congressional mandate of the FA A

Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, while also advancing the interests of the public, by

allowing the Petitioner to safety , efficiently, and economically operate the UAVs commercially

within the NAS.

Therefore, in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations and the FAA

Modernization and Refor m Act of 2012, Section 333, Neu Heights Media, LLC respectfully

requests that the Administrator grant this petition for an exemption from the requirements of 14

C.F.R. § 21 subpart H, 45.23, 61.113(a) & (b), 9 1.7, 91.9, 91.103, 91.105, 91.119, 91.121,

91.151(b), 91.203, 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b)

, permit ting the Petitioner to operate the DJI Inspire 1 and DJI Phan tom 3 Professional

commercially.
